Final West Des Moines Schools Idea Share Meeting Set for Monday

The last of four West Des Moines Schools Idea Share meetings will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday at Phenix Elementary, 415 Seventh St., according to the school district website.

The meeting is free and open to the public. Child care will be available.

At the meeting, Superintendent Peter Ansingh will provide a brief overview of the challenges and opportunities facing the school district. Then, community members will be asked to provide their input through small discussion groups on the following general questions, “What are our schools doing well?” and “How can our schools improve?”

The meetings are the first phase of the district’s efforts to gain feedback. The second phase will be an online community discussion based on input provided at the community meetings.

The information gathered will assist the district administration as it reviews district goals and plans for the future, according to the website.
